Hello, Been away from Linux for a while so this is a newbie type question, I am running Fedora Core 3. When I try running NMap 3.81 I get the message pasted below, stating that it can't find eth0 I pasted the results of ifconfig below too. I can get out to the Internet, ping, run TCPDump, etc. but I am not sure how to get NMap to see the NIC card like everything else does. The NIC is a wireless Orinoco Gold but I don't think that would matter? Could someone please tell me how to get NMap to work? Thank You!
